Navy of England, has got into profess.
ional trouble for writing the following
open letter to the editor of the London
Family Doctor.
81 believe it to be the duty Of every
physician to make known any means
or remedy whereby sickness can be
prevented. and it is for this purpose |
write to give my experience both here
and abroad. | ask the publication of
the statement that people may be warn
ed before 1T is too late, to say to them
there is at hand a means by which
they may be restored to perfect health.
IL is well known to the medical world.
and indeed, to the laity, that certain
disease is making a terrible havoc
that next to consumption it is the most
fatal, and that when fully developed
there is nothing to be done for the suf-
ferer."
"Physicians and scientists have long
been trying to throw light upon the
cause, and if possible, to find in nature
medicine for this fatal malady. They
have shown, absolutely, that the blood
purifying organs of vital Importance,
are the kidneys, and that when they
once fail, the poison which they should
take out of the blood is carried by the
blood into every part of the body, de-
veloping disease"
"ln my hospital practice IN England
India and South America, and also
while a surgeon in the Royal Navy of
Great Britain, ! gave a great deal of
attention to the study of diseases Of
the kidneys and urinary organs, and
found that not only was the cure OF
chronic Bright's Disease hopeless, but
that kidney disease was remarkably
prevalent; much moro so than gener.
ally known, and was the cause of the
majority OF cases of sickness, and fur.
ther, that the medical profession has
no remedy which exerts any absolute
control over these organs in disease"
'Some time ago when l had a case
which resisted all regular treatment,--
which is very limited d,-complicated
with the passing of stones from the
kidneys, much against my will l per-
mitted my patient to use Warner
safe cure, of which had heard marvel
GUS results. In his case the result was
simply marvellous, as the attack was a
severe one, and development very grave
for an analysis showed per cent Of al
bumen and granular tube casts"
"The action of the medicine was
singular and incomprehensible to me.
l had never seen anything like it. The
patient recovered promptly, and is to-
day a well and healthy man. This
stimulated my inquiry into the merits
OF the remedy, and after analysis l
found 1t to be of purely vegetable char
acter, harmless to take under all cir
cumstances."
Casting aside all professional preiu-
dice l gave 1t thorough trial, as
was anxious that my patients should
be restored to health, no matter by
what medicine. prescribe it in a
great variety of cases, Acute, Chronic
Bright's Disease, Congestion of the
Kidneys, Catarrh of the Bladder, and
in every instance did it speedily effect
cure.'
For this reason l deem 1t my duty
TO give to the world this statement re-
garding the value of Warmers safe cure.
make this statement on facts am pre-
pared to produce and substantiate.
appeal to physicians of large practice
who know how common and deceptiye
diseases of the kidneys are, to lay aside
professional prejudice, give their
patients Warmers safe cure. restore
them to perfect health, earn their graft
tude, and thus be true physicians"
II am satisfied that more than one
half OF the deaths which occur in
England are caused, primarily, by i'm
paired action of the kidneys, and the
consequent retention in the blood of
the poisonous uric and kidney acid.
Warmers safe cure causes the kidneys
to expel this poison, checks the escape
OF albumen, relieves the inflammation
and prevents illness from impaired and
impoverished blood. Having bad more
than seventeen years experience in
my profession, l conscientiously and
emphatically state that | have been
able to give more reilef and effect more
cures by the use of Warmers safe cure
than by all the other medicines ascer
tainable to the profession, the majority
OF which am sorry to say, are very
uncertain in their action"
"Isn't that straightforward, manly
lettel ?"
"Indeed it is"

SHOW so9 What has he done to

'Done' He has spoken the truth
'out of school and his fellow physi
clans, who want the public to think
they have monopoly in curing dis
eases, are terribly angry with him for
admitting professional inability to
reach certain disorders.
That letter created a wonderful
sensation among the titled classes and
the public. This Jared the doctors
terribly. The College of Surgeons and
Queens College, from which institution
he was graduated, asked for an expla.
nation of his unprofesslonal conduct.
and notified him that unless he made
retraction they would discipline him.
"The doctor replied that he allowed
his patients to make use of Warmers
safe cure only after all the regular
methods had failed and when he was
satisfied that there was no possible hope
for them. Upon their recovery, after
having used Warmers safe cure, he
was so much surprised that he wrote
the above letter to the Family Doc.
tor. lie regretted that the faculties
found fault with his action in the mat.
ter, but he could not conscientiously
retraet the facts as written to the
Family Doctor.
"Tbe faculties of both colleges re-
piled that unless he retracted they
should cut him off, which would natur.
ally dedar him from again 1oracticing
ms profession, and also prevent his
securing another appointment in the
Royal Navy
